A top tech sales performer making $90k explains why they're leaving for high-ticket remote sales. They wanted to learn selling but got product pitching instead, hit a salary cap, and dealt with micromanagement so intense they were contacted while in the bathroom.
You live in Austin, so you're here and just hanging out. What made you decide that, like, I want to move from tech into this new thing? One of the main reasons why I joined tech sales in the beginning was, of course, in sales you learn the ability to sell yourself. Yeah, but whenever I came into tech sales, that's what I thought was gonna happen, but you're mainly learning how to just pitch the product. You're not really learning how to sell. And then also, as of right now, I'm the top performer in my floor, but you are absolutely capped out at $90,000, so you really can't make more than that. And there's a lot of micromanaging. Last week I would use the restroom for 5 minutes, I got like messages and I got a phone call saying, where are you? Where are you? I'm like, dude, like I'm doing well and like they're still micromanaging me like that? That's why I was like, I want to be able to have more control over my life. Yeah. That's why I'm trying to slowly transition over to high-ticket remote sales.
